"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" This summer I discovered the world of pick-up. I was driven by the determination to improve areas of my life, and one of them was with girls. And I think I was doing fine. In a month and a half I got down about 3 approaches daygame, and 3 at night. I was in a comfortable stage because I knew had I not discovered pickup I wouldve never done those things. One of the mottos I used to motivate me was in terms of basketball. You miss 100% of the shots you dont take. Its so true. And after watching the "Seconds" video on another link I realized this even more..

Yet for some reason, I've taken myself out of the game the last month and a half. I did not do daygame approaches in august at all. I figure Id wait and game around campus when school started. Its been almost a week and a half and i still havent done one approach. I'm scared to even try to talk to the girl that i think i hot that sits next to me (for once in my life the hottest girl in class sits next to me).. The reason for it is the fact that I'm scared what people would think.. they'll see me hitting on a girl. And then if i get rejected its in front of all those people..

Why have I been regressing? I dont know. Its really bothering me... I thought it was just a low point and I'd get over it.. But the motivation hasnt come back. It really really bothers me.

I started to not think about my motto.. and I started to stop playing the game all together. My approach anxiety comes largely from the fact that there are people around. But I need to pick things up again. I'm going to re-enter the game cold. I need to clank some shots and maybe some will go in. But i need your help guys..

I'm hoping I can get something from seddit that will really wake me up. Thanks for anyone reading
